Facebook Will Use U.S. Mail To Find Election Ad Buyers
- 6 years ago
Facebook will be using U.S. postcards to verify ID and location of people who want to buy election-related advertising.
This is in response to criticism of failing to detect Russia's use of the site to spread political disinformation in the 2016 election.
The plans were revealed after Robert Mueller unsealed an indictment accusing 3 Russian companies of interfering in the election via social media.
The postcards contain a special code that will read and determine its location.
